A Walk at Dusk

After days of eye burning heat, my ‘friend’ and I f0und a cool evening to renew the joy of roaming locally.

16640870_1475484519137315_2719303314438338058_n — …before I am allowed to run

16508089_1475484502470650_4384215860693752481_n — But then I run….

there’s my favourite water spot

Walks in and out of parks

This meander took my ‘friend’ and I through a local school, streets and park.

A tranquil reminder of what it means to have time to stop and ‘smell the roses’ (which we didn’t actually do 😀 but we did relish the gorgeous day. ♥

16649436_1477172882301812_4540784895638972022_n — all over the grounds

16603056_1477172862301814_4943368904892858816_n — while, it seemed the world of vehicles had disappeared

16681997_1477172952301805_7373297548931885232_n — some shade

16602756_1477173078968459_809841676426252491_n — before the walk home

16684094_1477174615634972_6943020040647677794_n — and a stop to look

16602620_1477173022301798_6343205890748541662_n — and walk again

16708178_1477173062301794_5725218472470916976_n — with another stop to look

16684075_1477173105635123_7339796082791797977_n — one more street

16649019_1477173182301782_3203262049871519984_n — and I’m home with my hippo friend 😀

I have been taking advantage of Melbourne’s glorious weather, my free time and the parks that are local to our home.

It all started when I started to measure the distance of our walks, our jalks (something between a walk and a jog) and on occasion, our jogs. This meant I had to carry my phone (on which is the MapMyWalk app). It also meant I had a camera on hand, albeit an iphone point and press type of camera.

From those beginnings, some meanderings emerged. I hope you enjoy the indulgence of sky, fields, my ‘friend’ and the privilege of time. Join me either through these ‘roamings’ or by creating your own.

Today, we, that is my ‘friend’, one of my two ‘babies’ ♥ and I drove 20 minutes from our home to Sassafras and found a garden of Eden.
